■Connectionwithhostsystem●CENTUMVP
A connection with CENTUM VP enables displaying the measurement data of field devices on the CENTUM VP operation and monitoring screen. There are two ways to connect a field wireless system with CENTUM VP. One is a connection with FCS (via the subsystem communication) and the other is a connection with the General Subsystem Gateway (GSGW). The connection with FCS requires an Ethernet communication module (ALE111). And YFGW communication package (for ALE111) is also required at the CENTUM VP R4.The connection with a GSGW requires the field wireless OPC server.For the CENTUM VP, version R4.02.30 or later should be used. And, in the case which a field wireless management station and CENTUM VP R5 connect, CENTUM VP should use R5.02.00 or later. And also, connection with field wireless devices with an output function and a redundant function of the field wireless management station require the CENTUM VP version R5.02.00 or later. For details, see Integrated Production Control System CENTUM VP System Overview (For R4.02.30 or later: GS 33M01A10-40E. For R5.01.00 or later: GS 33K01A10-50E, GS 33K01A20-50E).
